Hello, my name is Julie Dare. I am pleased to serve as a point of contact to Los Alamos Public School’s Native Students and to their families. I am thrilled to have the opportunity to get to know our Native students and their families on a deeper level. My goals as a liaison are to facilitate meaningful events for Native students as well as to connect Native students to valuable educational resources. I was born and raised in Los Alamos and am a LAHS alumni. My undergraduate degree is in American Studies and I have a graduate degree in Special Education.
